Look at the introduction

Astrology prevailed in China during the Spring and Autumn Period (8th-5th century BC). Astrologers invented the saying that "heaven changes and the realm is affected", and used the changes of astronomical phenomena to predict the good and bad fortune in the world. To this end, the state on the ground and the region between the country and the starry sky are matched with each other, which is the so-called dividing line. Zhang Bao Family Records records in Zhou Li: "The land of Kyushu is divided by the stars, and the fiefs are observed by the stars", which means that good or bad luck can be predicted according to the division. There are twelve different ways to divide the day, such as twenty-eight nights (or twenty-eight), so there are different ways to divide the day. In addition, States and countries have changed with different times, so the boundaries of different times are not the same.

The origin and development of astrology before the Qin and Han Dynasties in China is recorded in Historical Records: "Those who have been handed down from generation to generation: those who have existed before are more important to Li; Tang Yu, Yu, He; There is summer, Kunwu; Yin Shang and Wu Xian; Zhou Shi, Wei Shi, Changhong; Yu Song, Wei Zi; Zheng Zebi stove; In Qi, Gan Gong; Chu and Tang (last item); Zhao,; Wei, Shi Shen. " However, the astrological works of these ancient astronomers in the Han Dynasty have been lost, and "Shi Gan Xing Jing" has been circulated in later generations, but it is already a work in the Tang and Song Dynasties, not the original work in the Warring States Period. The existing ancient astrology books in China mainly include Yi Sizhan by Li in Tang Dynasty, Kai Yuan by Qu Tansida, Lingtai Secret Garden rebuilt in Northern Song Dynasty and Watching Elephants and Playing Zhan in Ming Dynasty.
